Deniz is five, actually - and I wouldn't dream of taking Ana :) I'd drag another adult with me, or make it a Deniz-only day. I might try sneaking in a bright almost-five-year-old into a program like this, but Ana, bright as she is, is nowhere near the level to get anything out of this, I can just see that.

(That was actually my one complaint with the Early Learner Workshop today. The program is for kids 2.5 through 5, but a lot of people slipped in kids clearly not in that age range. Which wasn't fair to those kids, really.)

And I know the feeling. I accost random strangers and try to direct them to my favorite SICM programs :)
